Upgraded Lug Nuts!

Hey guys,
Tired of polishing cheap chrome lugs? I was!! I would polish them and a week later...RUST!!!! I bought new Gorilla Stainless Steel Lug Nuts. Gets a little spendy when you gotta buy 32 of them! Anyway, better lugs, no polishing for a $100

Even the chrome lugs are guranteed not to rust for life! But I didn't want to take the chance...Stainless Steel are the same price..

MarkF250, do you keep your Ford hub covers off then? b/c i was also thinking about getting the gorilla lugs and leave the hub cover off, so it has that big rig look to them with the lugs right there instead of hidden behind the covers.

I have aftermarket wheels (Eagle series 058) look just like the Ford factorys. They are just an inch wider and thicker. I had the grey painted factory wheels and I wanted polished wheels. If you have the polished factory wheels, you can put lugs and center caps on them. Just don't get cheap lugs like I did when I bought those wheels. No wonder they threw them in at no extra cost!

Eagle does have a web site.
www.eaglewheels.com
I bought mine locally for about $85 each which is about $30 cheaper than the website. You can order them all over the web for various prices. Most locally owned wheels shops carry them. It's a common wheel. On the HD version 8 lug, it doesn't come with a center cap.
